Ming Ansheng even felt that love was a waste of time and effort, and it wasn’t practical .
But now he knew better . It was because he hadn’t met someone he wanted to be with for the rest of his lifetime . He hadn’t truly fallen for anyone yet .
Now that he did, he couldn’t bear the thought of settling with someone else .
“Don’t think so much . ” Ming Ansheng’s mother knew that Ming Ansheng wouldn’t share his worries easily with her or anyone else . She patted him gently on his arm and said, “When your grandfather wakes up, apologize to him . ”
Ming Ansheng promised her and said, “I’ll go take a walk . ”
He turned around and marched gloomily towards the elevator .
Ming Ansheng’s mother watched the towering figure, and it gave her the feeling that he was enduring a heavy burden . She sighed helplessly to herself .
On a Sunday afternoon, the school was quiet and rather deserted . Su Yue and Bai Jing were playing basketball .
There were a few others playing as well, but they were all guys . A few girls, presumably their girlfriends, sat nearby .
“This ball is really disobedient . ”
Bai Jing practiced bouncing the ball for quite some time but couldn’t quite get the hang of it .
Su Yue glanced at Bai Jing and chuckled . “Why did Third Brother say that you were smarter than me?”
She put her ball aside and walked to Bai Jing . She stood behind her and mimicked how Jiao Chen had taught her . She stretched her hand and held Bai Jing’s hand and said, “This should be the way . Use your wrist and not the whole arm…”
She copied how Jiao Chen had taught her .
“Junior, you’ve become a coach after a day of training?”
The guys who were playing nearby attempted to strike a conversation with Su Yue . Su Yue threw a brief glance and ignored them .
When Su Yue teased her earlier regarding her intelligence, it provoked Bai Jing . She clenched her teeth . She became more motivated to learn how to play basketball .
She said, “Just wait . In three days, I’ll be better than you . ”
Of course, Su Yue had to retort, “Hmph! Stop boasting, let’s try to aim for the hoop . ”
She grabbed her ball and aimed for the basketball hoop with a stance of a professional player .
Everyone turned to watch Su Yue, and their eyes trailed after the basketball in the air .
However, the ball sailed below the hoop and fell to the floor after several bounces .
Su Yue frowned in disappointment . “Seems like I need to exert more strength . ”
She picked up her ball and turned around . “Bai Jing, give it a try!” yelled Su Yue .
Bai Jing furiously shook her head . “No way! It’s so embarrassing if I can’t get it in . ”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Su Yue replied with a frown . “Those professional players on TV missed their aim sometimes . ”
Anyway, she didn’t find it embarrassing at all .
Even though her ball didn’t even touch the hoop, and it made the guys laughed, it never bothered her .
Su Yue wore a pink T-shirt that day and a pair of white trainers . She paired it with a pair of white track shoes, and her hair was all tied up .
Although she was petite, she seemed as energetic and vivacious as an elf .
“Su Yue, it’s Senior Jiao Chen . ” Bai Jing suddenly raised her head and peered behind her .
A towering figure stood watching them . He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black pants . And he looked like a handsome and cool character who had just walked out of a drama or novel .
Su Yue paused for a moment . “Where is he?”
